So we are about the hit the road
And right before we leave we gotta make sure - Oh! You got sprayed, sorry
-I did?! - Yes (laughs)
Right before we hit the road, we gotta make sure that everybody has peeded and has eaten
Not unlike with human babies, I guess
One last bathroom break before we leave
When you're packing for a road trip for kittens, there's a bunch of stuff that you're gonna need
I always end up bringing way more for the kittens than I do for myself (laughs)
So it's pretty funny
But this is a diaper bag that I really liked, it's just a diaper bag for human babies
Inside I have lots of different stuff so
I bring lots of extra blankets for them, baby wipes,
I bring these Hothands, hand warmers because if you're in a place that you don't have a microwave
you still need to be able to keep them warm so these are like single use heaters that you can put in with them.
I also bring a couple emergency supplies, just in case something goes wrong
I bring in antibiotics, some fluids - just in case they do get dehydrated
Always bring a little bit of canned food, just in case any of them are transitioning
from bottle onto their wet food.
Some extra tissues, some sanitizing wipes in case we need to sanitize anything
Some poop bags. And I bring hand sanitizer for myself and for anybody else who is gonna be handling them
so that we can stay clean
Also have my kitten carrier here which has even more supplies on it
Scale, some gloves. I always bring a couple extra bottles just in case
Eye meds, flea comb. Basically a bag that has it all
And since I'm syringe feeding Hank, I have a bunch of extra syringes, just in case
Always bring something that you can mix formula in, and some kind of scooping device
And of course their formula
When you're on the road it is kinda challenging to get everything you need to be able to feed so
I'm gonna try to make as much as I need for right before we leave and
then for while we are on the road
So this will feed them right as we're about to leave and then we'll have enough to feed them half way
- What do you think Marshmallow? (kissing noises)
So Hank is just a little over a week old so she needs to eat pretty often
so we're gonna feed her last right before we leave
Good job!
One last bathroom opportunity for Hank before we hit the road
(tiny meows)
I like your milk mustache Hank!
I'm sorry I thought that you were a boy
This is where Hank is travelling
and there's a Snuggle Safe heater inside here so we're gonna microwave that
to make sure that it stays warm for the whole trip
Let's do 5 minutes
So this is warm now, this is gonna go inside this little cover
This will go in here for Hank so Hank can stay warm on our drive
Hi! Sorry to disturb you, just wanna make sure you're warm
So since it is pretty chilly outside, any kind of carrier like this that has a lot of ventilation
Which is a great thing, you wanna have a carrier with ventilation
But if you're walking outside and it's really cold, you don't there to be a cold draft getting in
So while we're walking to the car, I just cover the top of that with a blanket so there's not cold wind getting in
Hank has been on the road for about two hours which means is time to have a little snack!
Okay, I need formula, theres a spoon. Brought our little milk jar
I'm like one of the only people who has a diaper bag that does not have a baby
So the trick is that you have to make the formula the right temperature
If you have a powder formula that has to be refrigerated you can put it in a cooler
Put some ice packs in there
This stuff is shelf stable. I bring a table spoon with me and then some kind of jar
Now we have to make it the right temperature so
Hot water and a bottle of cold water
My hot water, my cold water and my formula
- Wait, why am I all smeared??
Has a little bit of poops. Can you pass me some wipes? - Casualty of war
Yeah, one baby wipe please. Actually maybe one for Andrew cause he's got poop hands
(laughter)
Always carry wet wipes!
Thoese bags are nice because they're lavander scented so now it'll smell like lavander and poop
- Smells like playdoh. - Uh I'm good (laughs)
Not the poop! The- the bag (more laughter)
Smells alright. - Yeah, we'll take your word for it. - You guys wanna smell it?
Ooh baby
This is a receving blanket which is for humans babies
Or if you're Kitten Lady, it's for purritos.
Oh she cute! - Ohh you cute alright
3cc syrunge, miracle nipple on the end of it
Alright, so I got my formula. Gonna draw it up
Ohoo yeah she's hungry
So we stopped, we got some snacks, I got some chex mix. Hank is getting some formula
We're all happy
This is just part of road trips, whether you're a human or a cat.
Gotta stop and snack
Uhuuum!
Wipe him down with a baby wipe. Here is ready to sleep
Goodnight!
